X-Party skins are best! (and a hand with content)

If your hand was good enough to call the turn 3-bet, you have to think it's good enough to call the river, FWIW.

It depends if we called the turn bet hoping to improve or planning to call down.

The X-skins have 2 very different variants:

Full ring games play extremely tight and yes, weak. 6-max plays extremely opposite with LAGs everywhere.

Pick your battles.

BB looks scary. But he either has a set on the turn or he overplays a straight/flush draw. I raised to keep initiative and mainly to face SB with a hard decision. I was worried about SB as he donk betted the flop.

On the river the pot is big and BB can be making a deperate bet after missing a draw. There's no way to fold this. I actually raised but I am not sure it was the best action. If SB didn't fold a better hand (i.e. TP) on the turn then why fold it on the river? Who knows, he might fold a hand like 86 etc or 89 (?) and I don't need him to do it that often. I need to do some mathematics I guess. Where is AaronW when you need him?

If we're not capable of folding to a three-bet on the turn, I don't think waiting to raise the turn is better. If our villain is tricky enough to three-bet the turn with hands we're beating, it's better to raise the flop and go from there.
